So I cut it into pieces where there were sprouts and planted them along the back fence. I had recently weeded and it has been rather wet here, so I figured as good a time as any.
I planted them a couple of days ago and already they have shot up.
They are on one side of a palm tree and on the other I discovered a lone tomato plant the other week. I had throw some food scraps in that area a few months ago. Our soil is clay, so I wanted to make compost and make the soil better. I certainly did not expect anything to grow.
I am leaving the plant to fend for itself because every time I have tried to grow tomatoes I have killed them, so to have one grow up out of the clay and even have a flower on it is AMAZING to me!!! (I'll try and get a pic later)
We have had a lot of rain here, so I decided to plant some herb seeds in pots and hope for the best. They grew really well last time so I am hopeful.
I am also really happy because the rain has brought my aloe vera back to life, see...
I love aloe vera for sun burn, insect bites and a variety of other things. It is very healing, but I just can't seem to grow it really well. I got these from a friend a few years ago and can't seem to do much with them. I am hoping they grow more like my mums. Hers are awesome and busting out of the pot.
I have made a few other changes which seem to have improved things here. I am also getting the plumbing done this Friday so my kitchen is one step closer to finished.
Oh, and we are planning a trip to Tasmania in a few months and I have a weekend by myself planned in April for a friends wedding. Pretty exciting.
